Bariatric Advantage Vitamina B1 Tiamina - 100 mg Tiamina Mononitrato - Cápsulas Fáciles de Digerir - 90 unidades

What makes Bariatric Advantage Vitamin B1 special?

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is essential for energy metabolism and nerve function. Bariatric Advantage has developed a specific formula for bariatric patients, who are at increased risk of this vitamin deficiency. Each capsule contains 100 mg of thiamine mononitrate, a stable and well-absorbed form. Its easy-to-digest design facilitates tolerance in people with gastrointestinal sensitivity, common after bariatric surgery procedures.

Benefits of thiamine according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for thiamine. These include thiamine contributing to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal psychological function. It also contributes to the normal function of the heart. These benefits are scientifically supported and are applicable to the general population, including bariatric patients who need an additional supply.

Who needs thiamine supplements?

Bariatric patients are the most vulnerable group, as surgery reduces nutrient absorption. But other people can also benefit: those on restrictive diets, people with chronic alcoholism, type 2 diabetics, or those with diseases affecting intestinal absorption (such as Crohn's disease or celiac disease). Symptoms of deficiency include fatigue, muscle weakness, irritability, and memory problems. If you notice any of these, consult your doctor before supplementing.

How to choose the best thiamine supplement

The form of thiamine is key. Thiamine mononitrate is a stable form with good bioavailability, ideal for capsule supplements. Other forms such as benfotiamine offer greater absorption in certain contexts, but for general use, mononitrate is effective and well-tolerated. The 100 mg dose is adequate to cover high needs without risk of toxicity. In addition, Bariatric Advantage's mini-capsule format facilitates swallowing and reduces digestive discomfort. Look for products from reputable brands and, if possible, with quality certifications.

Recommended dosage

The usual dose for adults is 100 mg per day, preferably with a meal to improve absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Each bottle of 90 capsules provides a three-month supply. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions or those of your healthcare professional, especially if you are recovering from surgery or have specific medical conditions.

Possible side effects

Thiamine is safe even in high doses, as it is a water-soluble vitamin and excess is eliminated in the urine. However, some people may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur. If severe symptoms appear, discontinue use and consult a doctor. This supplement is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical supervision.
